Instead of working his day job helping steer the careers of award winners like Meryl Streep, Jennifer Aniston, and James Corden, CAA managing director Kevin Huvane steered a litany of industry notables to Brentwood this week to fill the coffers for the high school dropout prevention organization Communities In Schools.

Huvane has served on CIS’ National Board of Directors, housed CISLA’s offices inside the agency’s own Century City workspace, and Huvane has personally mentored some of the 11,000 students in the program each year.

CIS partners with schools, families, and community leaders to empower high school and middle school students to stay in school.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Deborah Marcus, CISLA has helped raise the graduation rate at each high school in their program by an average of 31 percent. Deonte Lange, who stayed in high school through the program and went on to graduate college, presented Huvane with an award.

British singer and songwriter Lianne La Havas (above and below) performed here during one of L.A.’s busiest music weeks of the year — the purgatory week between the two Coachella festival weekends. The “Green & Gold” singer continued the trend of British performers at this relaxed event, where Chris Martin once joked about getting the gig after seeing it posted on the corkboard in a Brentwood Starbucks and then took requests from his kids seated in the audience.

This year, the CISLA crowd included industry heavyweights like J.J. Abrams and his wife Katie McGrath, NBCUniversal Vice Chairman Ron Meyer, BET Founder Robert Johnson, Working Title President Liza Chasin, “Game of Thrones” co-executive producer Guymon Casady and Dylan McDermott, among others.

But did they eat the cake? Alessandra Ambrosio (April 11) and Josephine Skriver (April 14) had a joint birthday celebration.

Over at the festival, the "Slumdog Millionaire" star and the model must have bought their tickets really early to get that seat. H&M's Interactive Oasis showed off their clothing collection, "H&M Loves Coachella."

The most Instagrammed thing in the world for the next three days is this: the paper machete donkey in a party hat. It's this year's signature art installation.

Republic Records' Hyde Away

On Friday afternoon, the cool kid label had a poolside showcase in Thermal. Posing here, EVP of Republic Records Wendy Goldstein, Hailee Steinfeld, Universal Pictures' president of film music and licensing Mike Knobloch and Chairman and CEO of Republic Records Monte Lipman.

Travis Scott

The 24-year-old Houstonite was the favorite of the Gen-Z crowd. His Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Goosebumps" racked up 1.9 million views on Friday, the day it was released.

H&M's oasis on the festival grounds featured a garage, living room and patio with a pop-up shop for on-the-spot wardrobe changes.

Odell Beckham Jr. and Amber Rose

NFL players' off-season coincides nicely with the spring festival. The NY Giants star and Amber Rose were the head-turning duo at Nylon's "Midnight Garden" party on Friday night.

Expanded VIP Area

Coachella increased its Main VIP area to make it twice as wide this year.

They now have cocktail waitresses serving drinks in that Main Stage VIP, a game changer for cutting down on lines.

How do they remember who ordered what? "We look at hats and shoes," the part-time actresses/servers told The Party Report.

Cameron Smoller and Hailee Steinfeld

The actress-singer also hit Nylon's bash where guests checked in for the festivities in an elementary school parking lot. They had to ride prom buses up to a house.

Steinfeld had a full day. Earlier, she performed at her label Republic Records' showcase at the SBE Hyde Away with Aminė and Post Malone.

This bash was a lot cooler than "The Peach Pit."

Dillon Francis

The newly independent prankster and producer (he just launched his IDGAFOS label) closed out the first day by headlining the Sahara tent with a blizzard of visuals from the opening beats of "Bun Up the Dance," his smash collaboration with Skrillex.

"I dressed up and wore a suit for you, Coachella!" Francis told the crowd. He last played here in 2014.

As TheWrap predicted, G-Eazy came out to join him for "Say Less." The finale included James Hersey for a winning version of "Coming Over."

Steve Angello

The former member of Swedish House Mafia ended his set elevated on a pedestal. We're a few years past SHM's reign as the kings of EDM, but don't anybody tell him that. His tent was less crowded than Empire of the Sun or Francis' shows in the same space.

The ladies hit CIROC's Summer Colada party in Palm Springs on Friday night.

These two Victoria's Secret angels kicked off Revolve's astronomically large weekend of events across the Valley with a small dinner party at the Revolve Hotel takeover of the Arrive Hotel in Palm Springs on Thursday night.

Back on land, Ferg was ready for a weekend of activations that includes mutli-thousand person parties with Rick Ross, intimate dinners, late nights and private events with Nicole Richie and Rachel Zoe.

Shay Mitchell and Randy Jackson

Music innovators and notables gathered at industry conference Kaleidoscope on Thursday, a series of "Lawn Talks" with personalities like Mitchell and Jackson, Houlihan Lokey's Jim Zukin and Monster CEO Noel Lee. Delta Airlines and Tesloop sponsored the outdoor conversations.

Water

A pallet city of water was staged behind the dance tent on Wednesday before the festival. It was 83 degrees as the gates were opened on Friday.
